I have just finished moving all the postings and other information to the new server, where I am posting this message.

This server should be faster than our last one. I hope this proves true. I would love to hear some feedback.

--- Also, let me know if you find I've dropped any posting or other info.... Hope not but the hour is late. I wanted to do this at night so it would not disrupt the board but I never dreamt it would take from 10 PM to 4 AM!!! I'm seeing double about now.

The intervening screen is gone, but there are headlight problems now. This afternoon it looked like the board had been spammed, but there were no new posts behind the lights. Tonight the thread lights worked OK, but the new posts on the threads were not lit up.

I am glad the server is faster! That was the whole idea of the move. I'm als glad everyone seems to like the brighter colors.

I checked out the Rants & Raves and found that the posting is running off the screen only because there is a long URL (http://etc.) in the posting that has no breaks in it. So the browser is filling your entire window width before it breaks the line. No worry. This is not hurting anything and will not affect other postings.

If you see a screen that says the board is closed, then you are looking at the old server & the old wineboard, which are shut down now. The old page should automatically shuttle you over to the new server, aka new wineboard site. The auto refresh may take a few seconds.

By tomorrow I think the domain name WINES.COM will no longer lead anyone to the old server -- instead you will automatically be seeing the new site. Other than the color change, everything else will remain the same.

Cookies and lightbulbs may act erratically until eveything transitions over. I have a few more changes to make on Thursday and Friday that may affect this too. No point in worrying about it until next week. My apologies for the inconvenience.
